Here is a nice documentary showing Dr. Perner's tireless work to bring blueberry farming to the people of northern Sichuan. You can see in this video a sample of his and Wenqing's efforts to better the lives of people in the high mountains near Huanglong National Park. Though the video is largely in Chinese, it is subtitled. If you want a taste of that place and its people, along with a sample of Holger and Wenqing's lives, please have a look.

Great, and touching sequence of the Perner Family ( and their work), that you and I had the chance to get to know: Holger, the scientist, the fine-feeling human .. that's what he was ...!

(I got the link yesterday from Wenqing, and remembered well talking with Holger of his elder daughter's (fortunately wrong) diagnosed illness :-( ; but Isabell was doing well when I met them a few weeks ago. But now they lost their partner, their father ) ....
